Bank Of OC Employees Support Comunity Outreach Fund

Bank of Ocean City employees get to dress casual twice a month on Fridays to support the employees’ community outreach fund and help local initiatives. The employees get to dress casual by donating $5 to the fund and the money is donated to the chosen nonprofit, such as last month’s Atlantic United Methodist Church’s effort to provide children who receive free and reduced lunches at school with food on the weekends. Pictured, from left, are Jason Parker, member of the Bank of Ocean City Community Outreach Committee; Linda Gilmore, church member; and Susan Teach, assistant branch manager at the bank’s West Ocean City office who came up with the idea to help the church.
